I Believe . . .

[Tachstar]

. . . in the laws of physics, but I'm not sure Sally does. Or maybe she's a ghost, doomed to swim the earth for all eternity after having been done in by years and years of unprovoked 'defeats'. I dunno. Maybe she just needs another cup of coffee. Like me! Or new glasses...

 

[Techwright]

Oh, great.  I've been searching the lake all this time and you're telling me I should have been searching the land, too?

[TraumaTrain]

Huh. What if Sally is a ghost?

[Mopery]

That's no serpent...

 

It's an island!

[Snarky]

You guys pay no attention to the lore it was derived from?  All those drunk Scotsman have claimed for centuries to have seen Nessie on land....just sayin'

[GraspingVileTerror]

I'm just gonna take this moment to shamelessly promote my idea for saving Sally from constant beatings:

Sally is real, but the beach looks fake.

[Hedgefund]

The 4 Croatoa arcs have always been a stop for at least 3/4 of my toons.  I noticed this for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago.

 

In other environments for this game, I've seen Sally be traffic in other zones so I'm guessing that whatever constraint that she had to stay on the lake had been lifted.  Whether inadvertently or intentionally only the devs know.

[Beef Ninja]

I don't believe in physics. I've had milk cling to the side of the carton and move upwards before finally pouring down next to my bowl of cereal.

Sally has sonic powers, and causes soil liquefaction to flee from aquatic predators.

Really? That sounds like somebody changed something they probably shouldn't have, but definitely would cause me to stop and stare. Where else has she been sighted and starting how long ago?

By "other environments" I meant servers other than HC.  Putting Sally in traffic on roads was a deliberate joke.

So she's cosplaying as a krayt dragon?

[Yomo Kimyata]

To be fair, I don't think Sally ever studied law.

Or maybe she's a baby sandworm.

[Marshal_General]

That explains why I haven't been able to find her in the water. I must search further ...... a field.

[Heraclea]

Look, there is Fastitocalon!

An island good to land upon,

Although ’tis rather bare.

Come, leave the sea! And let us run,

Or dance, or lie down in the sun!

See, gulls are sitting there!

Beware!

Gulls do not sink.

There they may sit, or strut and prink:

Their part it is to tip the wink,

If anyone should dare

Upon that isle to settle,

Or only for a while to get

Relief from sickness or the wet,

Or maybe boil a kettle.

 

Ah! foolish folk, who land on HIM,

And little fires proceed to trim

And hope perhaps for tea!

It may be that His shell is thick,

He seems to sleep; but He is quick,

And floats now in the sea

With guile;

And when He hears their tapping feet,

Or faintly feels the sudden heat,

With smile

HE dives,

And promptly turning upside-down

He tips them off, and deep they drown,

And lose their silly lives

To their surprise.

Be wise!

There are many monsters in the Sea,

But none so perilous as HE,

Old horny Fastitocalon,

Whose mighty kindred all have gone,

The last of the old Turtle-fish.

So if to save your life you wish

Then I advise:

Pay heed to sailors’ ancient lore,

Set foot on no uncharted shore!

Or better still,

Your days at peace on Middle-earth

In mirth

Fulfil!
